With What If...? set to premiere on Disney+ on August 11, Marvel Studios has finally revealed the full list of actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe who will reprise their roles in the series. 

There are a lot of surprises here, and plenty of big names have signed up to return as their respective characters, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Hemsworth, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Natalie Portman, Paul Rudd, Samuel L. Jackson, and countless others.

However, what may be more interesting for some of you is who isn't listed here. 

There's no Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., or Tom Holland, even though we know Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, and Spider-Man all appear in What If...? 

Here's the full list:

Andy Serkis (Ulysses Klaue), Angela Bassett (Ramonda), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Benedict Wong (Wong), Benicio Del Toro (The Collector), Bradley Whitford (Agent John Flynn), Carrie Coon (Proxima Midnight), Chadwick Boseman (T'Challa), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Sullivan (Taserface), Clancy Brown (Surtur), Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Danai Gurira (Okoye), David Dastmalchian (Kurt), Djimon Hounsou (Korath), Dominic Cooper (Howard Stark), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter), Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Frank Grillo (Crossbones), Georges St-Pierre (Batroc), Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter), Jaimie Alexander (Sif), Jeff Goldblum (The Grandmaster), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), John Kani (King T'Chaka), Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Kat Dennings (Darcy), Kurt Russell (Ego), Leslie Bibb (Christine Everhart), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Michael B. Jordan (Erik Killmonger), Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), Michael Rooker (Yondu), Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Neal McDonough (Dum Dum Dugan), Ophelia Lovibond (Carina), Paul Bettany (The Vision), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Rachel House (Topaz), Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Sean Gunn (Kraglin), Sebastian Stan (Bucky), Seth Green (Howard the Duck), Stanley Tucci (Abraham Erskine), Taika Waititi (Korg), Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One), Toby Jones (Arnim Zola), Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Ebony Maw).

That's quite the ensemble, eh? We really can't fault Marvel Studios for being unable to land a handful of big names when they've got everyone from the original Peggy Carter to lesser-known characters like Carina and Agent John Flynn! The series promises to be a treat, regardless, and we can't wait to share more details with you. For now, you can check out our reaction to the first three episodes below:

That's bullshit that they couldn't at least get Holland to come in for a day or 2. He did the voice in Lego Avengers for f*cks sake.

Can't wait for this! About time Marvel entered the animation side of things.

Also, looking over the cast....I am still upset that Rachel McAdams was cast as such a meh character :/ She should be a leading role through the MCU (if she wanted a role like that ofc).

It somehow slipped my mind that there's gonna be an Ant Man episode. Seems like based on this list the 10 episodes will focus on:

Cap 1
Thor 1
Ragnarok
Guardians 1 and 2
Iron Man 1
Ant Man 1
Winter Soldier
Dr Strange
Avengers
Age of Ultron

Clearly some elements of Black Panther and Spider-Man are getting mixed in there as well, and Guardians could easily take up 2 episodes. Really interesting to see how they fit this all together

@OmegaDaGrodd - yeah very curious how they fit it all in 10 eps.
I wonder how long each episode is. Standard 20mins like other animations or are we going to get 30-40min eps.
I don't want it to feel rushed you know.
